Chairman’sMessage

Our journey towards meeting our strategic objectives rests on a strong foundation of trust that Samba Bank has earned from its customers and other stakeholders. Our confidence, as we introduce high-quality digital strategies in pursuit of a differentiated customer experience, efficiency and quality earnings growth; is supported by the consistent record of accomplishment of Samba Bank that has always acted with responsibility, transparency and integrity. We are working to instill a culture of excellence across our bank and, at the same time, we are continuously investing in our businesses and people to offer high quality and differentiated service to our customers across all the business segments. We offer our staff and colleagues opportunities to learn and progress. We encourage them to improve, innovate, take ownership of their careers and succeed together.

Corporate and Investment Banking Group I am pleased to report that the Corporate and Investment Banking Group (CIBG) had an outstanding year, growing its customer base and loan book. The focus remains on improving margin with better cross-sell strategy and focus on deepening relationship with our customers. Multiple new cross sell initiatives were launched during the year including Samba Access (Cash Management System) and Call Deposit Receipts (CDRs). These initiatives stimulated the growth in deposits and a wider offering to our client base.

Retail Banking Group In the Retail Banking Group (RBG), we have successfully targeted Priority clients with improved wealth management products and a more focused service offering. As a result, the RBG’s deposit book saw healthy growth as well. More than 5,300 new relationships were added which helped the group to increase its Current Account book by 19% at the year-end with incremental deposit of PKR 4.9Bio. Personal Loan product (PIL), which was launched in 2017, was also a major success in 2018. The newly launched PIL portfolio closed over PKR 1Bio with a high quality portfolio. Considering the increased customer base and success of PIL initiative, the Auto Loan product was also launched in 2018. Both these products would help in further strengthening the RBG’s product offering to its retail clientele.

Global Markets

The Global Markets (GM) continued to support customer business groups’ liquidity requirements efficiently. During the year, the Pakistani Rupee underwent significant devaluation, core interest rate increased by 425bps and capital markets remained volatile. Global Markets capitalized on this volatility in the markets and delivered strong financial performance. The Margin Trading Product was amongst the new initiatives introduced by the business during the year and has already seen good traction and contribution to the bottom line of the bank

Commercial Banking Group and SME BankingThe Commercial Banking Group maintained its focus to grow its business and delivered positive results. The Commercial Banking Group was launched in late 2015 and its focus has been to serve commercial and medium-sized corporates.

In 2017, the SME banking proposition was launched to cater for financial needs of small & medium enterprises while complying with all regulatory requirements. Observing great potential in this segment, the Bank has developed a focused strategy to increase its standing in this market.

Information TechnologyFollowing the successful implementation of Temenos - T24 and allied systems, we have continued to make investments in the technology platform by launching the Samba-Smart Mobile Banking application, providing features beyond traditional functionalities to better respond to customers’ needs as they choose to manage their finances in new and different ways. We now have capability to deliver fast-to-market solutions and have a solid foundation for further development of customer experience and improving our solutions. This is an essential tool for the development of our digital services, anticipating the changing needs of customers in an increasingly connected world. The integration of Oracle Financials with core banking system (T-24) was another milestone for the bank.

Corporate Social ResponsibilityWe strive to operate as a responsible and sustainable company, collaborating with partners to promote social and economic development. Samba Bank manages business with its stakeholders in a manner that is ethically acceptable and beneficial for all. The bank holds an approved Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy to cover the core areas of focus on CSR. During 2018, the Bank continued to contribute towards education, health, environment, sports and awareness. Samba Bank in collaboration with World Wildlife Fund sponsored their plantation program named “Rung Do Pakistan”, and has donated 10,000 plants that will be planted across Pakistan covering different geographical locations.

Performance of the Board of DirectorsI take this opportunity to recognize the contribution of the Board of Directors to Samba Bank’s progress and continued success. During the year, the performance of Board of Directors exhibited high standards of business and professional conduct in managing and supervising the affairs of the Bank. The Board set the Bank’s strategic aims and provided the leadership to put them into effect, upholding the vision, mission and core values of the Bank. It also monitored the Bank’s financial and operational soundness, governance structure, the effectiveness of internal controls & audit functions and risk management framework.

AcknowledgementOn behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to express my sincere appreciation to our customers and shareholders for their loyalty and continued support, the entire management team at Samba Bank for its continued dedication and service during the year, and to our staff for their wholehearted efforts. The achievements and the solid progress we have made in our journey could not have been realized without their dedication and loyalty. I look forward to a new year of challenges and opportunities, and hope you will join me in taking Samba Bank to even greater heights of success.

Directors’ Report

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to present the annual report of the Bank along with its audited

financial statements and auditors’ report for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Economic Highlights

Pakistan’s economy witnessed a decent growth in the last three years supported by the favorable global

economic environment, CPEC related investment activity, and expansionary fiscal and monetary policies.

However, the momentum was slowed down due to heightened external imbalances. PKR witnessed a 26%

devaluation in CY2018. With the objective to curtail domestic demand pressure, the central bank cumulatively

raised interest rates by 425bps in CY2018, with majority of increase happening in the latter half of the year.

Bank’s Operating Results and Financial Review

In terms of financial performance, 2018 has remained another successful year for the bank. The bank posted a

record annual profit before tax (PBT) of PKR 1,110mln which is 19.21% higher than previous year. At close of 2018,

the total assets of the bank stood at PKR 122.76bln with an increase of 4% over last year. Mark-up income of the

bank increased by 4% from last year and closed at PKR 7,556mln. The strong topline earnings were backed by

healthy increase in earning assets of the bank. Gross Loans & advances portfolio was increased by 33% from last

year and closed at PKR 53,592mln. Deposits were also increased by 19% from last year. During the year

management’s focus remained on attracting low and no cost deposits and improved the overall mix. The current

account portfolio of the bank increased by 32% during the year. The bank has also managed to book a healthy

non mark-up income of PKR 767mln which is higher by 7% from last year.

In order to safeguard its assets against credit risk, the Bank has adopted a prudent approach and has charged

specific provision of PKR 239mln on both subjective and objective basis. In addition, the Bank has also charged a

general provision of PKR 33.45mln against its performing consumer loans. The Bank also managed to recover

PKR 289mln against the portfolio classified under non-performing status, demonstrating consistent and effective

remedial management.

With the introduction of new consumer products, performing various software upgrades & IT Infrastructure

security hardening and launching the Samba-Smart Mobile Banking application, the overall administrative cost of

the bank increased by only 12%.

New developments during the year

With the stabilization of Temenos-T24 and allied systems, SBL achieved another milestone in digital banking by

launching the Samba-Smart Mobile Banking application, providing features beyond traditional functionalities and

a few firsts for domestic market. Various software upgrades including integration of Oracle Financials with

Temenos-T24 and IT Infrastructure security hardening were performed in 2018. Samba Access and integrated

Cash Management solution was also introduced to facilitate banking needs of corporate and retail clients.

Projects for Digital Account on-boarding and ADC Switch & Cards System replacement through leveraging on new

technologies were also initiated during the year.

Considering the increased customer base and success of PIL initiative, the Auto Loan product was also launched

in 2018. Both these products would help in further strengthening the Retail Banking Group’s product offering to

its retail clientele.

Credit Rating

JCR-VIS, a premier credit rating agency, has reaffirmed SBL’s medium to long-term credit rating at AA (Double A)

and the short-term rating at A-1 (A-One). The outlook on the assigned ratings has also been regarded as ‘Stable’.

These short term and long term ratings of the Bank denote high credit quality with adequate protection factor

and strong capability for timely payments to all financial commitments owing to strong liquidity positions.

Statement of Internal Controls

The Board is pleased to endorse the management’s statement on the evaluation of internal controls which is

included in the annual report.

Risk Management Framework

Directors and senior management are actively involved in the formulation of policies, procedures and limits.

Accordingly, the Bank has a comprehensive risk management framework that establishes risk management

The Bank, being aware of its responsibilities toward the society as whole has taken initiatives to contribute

towards the society. A specific budget was allocated towards CSR and related activities in 2018 which was utilized

in form of contribution to some of the well-deserved organizations, engaged in philanthropic, education, health

and development activities for the betterment of the Pakistani Society at large. The details of donations /

contributions made during the year have been disclosed in Note 27.2 of the annexed financial statements.

Auditors

The retiring external auditors Messrs A.F. Ferguson & Company, Chartered Accountants, being eligible, have

offered themselves for re-appointment. The Board of Directors, on the suggestion of the Audit Committee,

recommends Messrs A.F. Ferguson & Company, Chartered Accountants (a member firm of

PricewaterhouseCoopers) to be appointed for the next year.

Events after the Balance Sheet Date

There have been no material events that occurred subsequent to the date of the Balance Sheet that require

adjustments to the financial statements. Details of non-adjusting events after the reporting date have been

disclosed in Note 44 of the annexed financial statements.

Future Outlook

The stabilization measures taken during the last few months have put economy on the track of recovery. Monthly

indicators are showing visible signs of deceleration in domestic demand. The current account deficit is narrowing

gradually along with increase in financial inflows from friendly countries. Drop in crude oil prices in the last two

months is a major positive for the economy as it will lower the import bill in the coming quarters. Low oil prices

are not only positive from the external account perspective, but this will also help limit the impact on inflation and

interest rates. It is expected that government will capitalize on the opportunity provided by the low oil prices

environment to undertake long due key structural reforms. If done successfully, this would result in high &

self-sustaining economic growth and durable financial stability.

The economic conditions particularly for the banking industry will remain challenging during 2019 in Pakistan.

However, the management’s focus shall continue to rightly position itself in the market and will live up to maintain

the brand image of SAMBA as a symbol of customer confidence, loyalty and enhanced service quality.

With a view to the above forecasts, the Bank continues to foresee effective measures for its growth keeping its

core focus to leverage on the building blocks put into place; steadily build up its earning assets; effectively

manage the associated risks; and reduce its cost of funds through continued improvement in its deposit mix. This

would be facilitated by delivery of world class banking services to the Bank’s valued customers.

Acknowledgement

We wish to express sincere gratitude to our customers, business partners and shareholders for their patronage

and trust. The Board of Directors and the management would like to thank the State Bank of Pakistan and other

regulatory bodies for their guidance and support. We also sincerely appreciate the dedication, commitment and

team work of all employees of the Bank who worked very hard to transform the Bank into a successful franchise.

Statement of Internal Controls

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate controls for providing reasonable

assurance on effective and efficient operations, internal financial controls and compliance with laws and

regulations. Furthermore, development of internal control systems is an ongoing process. Internal controls are

designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide

reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The responsibility for adherence to controls mainly lies with the business from where the risk arises. For

monitoring the effectiveness of internal control systems, the Bank has set roles for certain functions such as

Audit & Risk Review (ARR), Compliance and the Operations Risk Management Department (ORMD). ARR

periodically carries out audits of branches and departments to monitor compliance with the Bank's control and

processing standards, and regulatory requirements. Likewise, Compliance department is responsible for assisting

the senior management in managing effectively the regulatory compliance and Money Laundering & Terrorist

Financing risks faced by the Bank. Also, the ORMD function within the Risk Management Group carries out quality

assurance reviews of processes and transactions of branch banking operations, to ensure compliance of policies

and fulfillment of regulatory requirements. In order to institutionalize a robust control and risk management

culture, Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for respective control areas have been identified along with tolerance limits.

Further, the Bank's KRI inventory is regularly updated to reflect latest trends with breaches being promptly

reported to senior management. Also, a Risk and Controls Self-Assessment (RCSA) regime has been implemented

throughout the Bank. An accountability process is in place to ensure effectiveness of the overall control

environment. Further, management gives due consideration to recommendations made by internal and external

auditors and regulators, especially for improvements in internal control systems and processes, and takes timely

action to implement their recommendations.

To implement Internal Control Guidelines, as required by State Bank of Pakistan, Internal Audit Department

reviewed the detailed exercise of documenting and benchmarking existing internal processes and controls,

relating to financial reporting on the basis of international standards. This project assists in further improving

internal controls across the Bank and ensures compliance with the SBP requirements. As per the SBP roadmap,

the Bank had completed all stages and is in compliance with SBP instructions and obtained exemption from the

State Bank of Pakistan for submission of Long Form Report (LFR) certified by external auditors. Bank has made

efforts to comply with the prerequisites of ICFR through submission of Internal Audit Annual Assessment Report

of 2017 to SBP after sign off from Board’s Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the internal control system and endorses the above evaluation

by management.

which allows customers to transfer funds, pay bills and handle many other banking services from the comfort of

their mobile phones. Samba Smart Application can be used by both customers and non-customers and also

includes a Financial ChatBot which users can interact with to perform account related transactions.

The Bank also connected with Keenu network as part of its efforts to strengthen its digital payments solutions,

thus connecting us with its 50+ merchant network.

Samba Bank Limited updated its Financial Consumer Protection Framework in order to build the customer’s

confidence in our products and services. We aim to treat our customers fairly and equitably without any

discrimination in provision of banking services. The framework strives to create awareness about consumer rights

and obligations while using the banks product and services.

Complaint Summary

In 2017, the total complaints received were 1240 where the average resolution time was 4 working days.

Encouragingly, the year 2018 saw the Bank’s average complaints’ resolution turnaround fall to 3 working days

with 1632 complaints being logged.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to The members on The Statement of Compliance with The Code of Corporate Governance

We have reviewed the enclosed Statement of Compliance with the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate

Governance) Regulations, 2017 (the Regulations) prepared by the Board of Directors of Samba Bank Limited (the

Bank) for the year ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with the requirements of regulation 40 of the

Regulations.

The responsibility for compliance with the Regulations is that of the Board of Directors of the Bank. Our

responsibility is to review whether the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the Bank’s compliance with

the provisions of the Regulations and report if it does not and to highlight any non-compliance with the

requirements of the Regulations. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Bank’s personnel and review of

various documents prepared by the Bank to comply with the Regulations.

As a part of our audit of the financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting

and internal control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We are not

required to consider whether the Board of Directors’ statement on internal control covers all risks and controls or

to form an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal controls, the Bank’s corporate governance procedures

and risks.

The Regulations require the Bank to place before the Audit Committee, and upon recommendation of the Audit

Committee, place before the Board of Directors for their review and approval, its related party transactions and

also ensure compliance with the requirements of section 208 of the Companies Act, 2017. We are only required

and have ensured compliance of this requirement to the extent of the approval of the related party transactions

by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Audit Committee. We have not carried out procedures to

assess and determine the Bank’s process for identification of related parties and that whether the related party

transactions were undertaken at arm’s length price or not.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Statement of

Compliance does not appropriately reflect the Bank's compliance, in all material respects, with the requirements

contained in the Regulations as applicable to the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Independent Auditor’s Report To The Members Of Samba Bank Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the annexed financial statements of Samba Bank Limited (the Bank), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018, and the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement for the year then ended, along with unaudited certified returns received from the branches except for 10 branches which have been audited by us and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and we state that we have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of the audit.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the statement of financial position, profitand loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement together with the notes forming part thereof conform with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan, and, give the information required by the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017), in the manner so required and respectively give a true and fair view of the state of the Bank’s affairs as at December 31, 2018 and of the profit and other comprehensive loss, the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as applicable in Pakistan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants as adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (the Code) and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Following are the Key Audit Matters:

Provision against advances(Refer note 10 to the financial statements) The Bank makes provision against advances on a time based criteria that involves ensuring all non-performing loans and advances are classified in accordance with the ageing criteria specified in the Prudential Regulations (PRs) issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

In addition to the above time based criteria the PRs require a subjective evaluation of the credit worthiness of borrowers to determine the classification of advances.

The PRs also require the creation of general provision for theconsumer portfolio.

The Bank has recognized a net reversal of provision against advances amounting to Rs. 17.408 million in the profit and loss account in the current year. As at December 31, 2018, the Bank holds a provision of Rs 2,299.525 million against advances.

The determination of provision against advances based on the above criteria remains a significant area of judgement and estimation. Because of the significance of the impact of these judgements / estimations and the materiality of advances relative to the overall statement of financial position of the Bank, we

Our audit procedures to verify provision against advances, amongst others, included the following:

We reviewed the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls established by the Bank to identify loss events and for determining the extent of provisioning required against non-performing loans.

The testing of controls included testing of:

• controls over monitoring of advances with higher risk of default and correct classification of non-performing advances on subjective criteria;

• controls over accurate computation and recording of provisions; and

• controls over the governance and approval process related to provisions, including continuous reassessment by the management.

In accordance with the regulatory requirement, we sampled and tested at least sixty percent of the total advances portfolio and

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

considered the area of provision against advances as a key audit matter.

Change in format of the financial statements(Refer note 5.1.1 to the financial statements)

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the SBP.

As part of this transition to the new requirements, the management performed a gap analysis to identify differences between the previous and current format. The adoption of new format required certain recognition requirements, reclassification of comparative information and also introduced additional disclosure requirements.

In view of the significant impact of the first time adoption of the revised format on these financial statements, we considered this as a key audit matter.

performed the following substantive procedures for sample loan accounts:

• verified repayments of loan / mark-up installments and checked that non-performing loans have been correctly classified and categorized based on the number of days overdue.

• examined watch list accounts and, based on review of the individual facts and circumstances, discussions with management and our assessment of financial conditions of the borrowers, formed a judgement as to whether classification of these accounts as performing was appropriate.

We checked the accuracy of specific provision made against non-performing advances and of general provision made against consumer finance by recomputing the provision amount in accordance with the criteria prescribed under the PRs.

We reviewed and understood the requirements of the SBP’s amended format of annual financial statements for banks. Our audit procedures included the following:

• considered the management’s process to identify the changes required in the financial statements to comply with the new format; and

• obtained relevant underlying supports relating to changes required in the financial statements consequent to the adoption of the new format to assess their appropriateness and verified them on a test basis.

S.No. Key Audit Matters How the matter was addressed in our audit

Responsibilities of Management and the Board of Directors for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan, the requirements of Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of directors is responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide to the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Based on our audit, we further report that in our opinion:

a) proper books of account have been kept by the Bank as required by the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and the returns referred above from the branches have been found adequate for the purpose of our audit;

b) the statement of financial position, the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement together with the notes thereon have been drawn up in conformity with the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and are in agreement with the books of account and returns;

c) investments made, expenditure incurred and guarantees extended during the year were in accordance with the objects and powers of the Bank and the transactions of the Bank which have come to our notice have been within the powers of the Bank; and

d) zakat deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980 (XVIII of 1980), was deducted by the Bank and deposited in the Central Zakat Fund established under section 7 of that Ordinance.

2. We confirm that for the purpose of our audit we have covered more than sixty per cent of the total loans and advances of the Bank.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Shahbaz Akbar.

3. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

3.1 These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting standards comprise of: - International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as are notified under the Companies Act, 2017;

3.3 Standards, amendments and interpretations to published approved accounting standards that are effective in the current year

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) through its BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the SBP. The details of changes due to adoption of revised format are given in note 5.1.

In addition, there are certain other new standards and interpretations of and amendments to existing accounting standards that have become applicable to the Bank for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. These are considered as either not relevant or do not have any significant impact on the Bank's financial statements.

i) classification and provisioning against investments (notes 5.4 and 9).

ii) classification and provisioning against advances (notes 5.5 and 10). iii) determination of useful lives and depreciation and amortisation of fixed assets and intangible assets (notes 5.6, 5.7, 11 and 12).

v) provision against off balance sheet obligations (note 18.1).

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

These are investments, that do not fall under the 'held for trading' or 'held to maturity' categories.

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

These are investments, that do not fall under the 'held for trading' or 'held to maturity' categories.

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Interest / return / mark-up on rescheduled / restructured advances and investments is recognised as permitted by the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP, except where, in the opinion of the management, it would not be prudent to do so.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

(b) Capital work-in-progress Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under this head. These are transferred to specific assets as and when assets become available for use.

5.7 Intangible assets

Intangible assets having definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary relating to prior years, which arises from assessments / developments made during the year.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistani Rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign bills purchased and forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the rates applicable to their respective maturities.

(b) Translation gains and losses Translation gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account.

(c) Contingencies and commitments Commitments for outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts are disclosed at contracted rates.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

These are investments, that do not fall under the 'held for trading' or 'held to maturity' categories.

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Interest / return / mark-up on rescheduled / restructured advances and investments is recognised as permitted by the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP, except where, in the opinion of the management, it would not be prudent to do so.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

(b) Capital work-in-progress Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under this head. These are transferred to specific assets as and when assets become available for use.

5.7 Intangible assets

Intangible assets having definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary relating to prior years, which arises from assessments / developments made during the year.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistani Rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.

(b) Translation gains and losses Translation gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account.

(c) Contingencies and commitments Commitments for outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts are disclosed at contracted rates.

Diluted EPS per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after including the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, if any.

5.18 Financial instruments

5.18.1 Financial assets and liabilities All financial assets and liabilities are recognised at the time when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the Bank loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain / loss on derecognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities is taken to income directly. Financial instruments carried on the statement of financial position include cash and balances with treasury banks, balances with other banks, lendings to financial institutions, investments, advances, certain other assets, bills payable, borrowings, deposits and certain other liabilities.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

These are investments, that do not fall under the 'held for trading' or 'held to maturity' categories.

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Interest / return / mark-up on rescheduled / restructured advances and investments is recognised as permitted by the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP, except where, in the opinion of the management, it would not be prudent to do so.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

(b) Capital work-in-progress Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under this head. These are transferred to specific assets as and when assets become available for use.

5.7 Intangible assets

Intangible assets having definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary relating to prior years, which arises from assessments / developments made during the year.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistani Rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign bills purchased and forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the rates applicable to their respective maturities.

(b) Translation gains and losses Translation gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account.

(c) Contingencies and commitments Commitments for outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts are disclosed at contracted rates.

Diluted EPS per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after including the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, if any.

5.18 Financial instruments

5.18.1 Financial assets and liabilities All financial assets and liabilities are recognised at the time when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the Bank loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain / loss on derecognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities is taken to income directly. Financial instruments carried on the statement of financial position include cash and balances with treasury banks, balances with other banks, lendings to financial institutions, investments, advances, certain other assets, bills payable, borrowings, deposits and certain other liabilities.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

These are investments, that do not fall under the 'held for trading' or 'held to maturity' categories.

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Interest / return / mark-up on rescheduled / restructured advances and investments is recognised as permitted by the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP, except where, in the opinion of the management, it would not be prudent to do so.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

(b) Capital work-in-progress Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under this head. These are transferred to specific assets as and when assets become available for use.

5.7 Intangible assets

Intangible assets having definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary relating to prior years, which arises from assessments / developments made during the year.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistani Rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign bills purchased and forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the rates applicable to their respective maturities.

(b) Translation gains and losses Translation gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account.

(c) Contingencies and commitments Commitments for outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts are disclosed at contracted rates.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

Intangible assets having definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for change explained in note 5.1.

5.1 Change in accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.1.1 The SBP vide BPRD Circular No. 02 of 2018 dated January 25, 2018 has amended the format of annual financial statements of banks. All banks are directed to prepare their annual financial statements on the revised format effective from the accounting year ending December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Bank has prepared these financial statements on the new format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of new format required remeasurement and reclassification of comparative information and accordingly a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e. December 31, 2016) has been presented in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The adoption of the revised format has resulted in the following significant changes:

- Acceptances amounting to Rs 1,384.38 million (2017: Rs 1,072.46 million, 2016: Rs 1,685.24 million) which were previously shown as part of contingencies and commitments are now recognised on balance sheet both as assets and liabilities. They are included in Other Assets (note 14) and Other Liabilities (note 18);

- Deficit on revaluation of assets amounting to Rs 380.02 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017: surplus of Rs 227.15 million, 2016: surplus of Rs 577.34 million) were previously shown below equity as required by the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 and has now been included as part of equity (note 20);

- Intangibles (note 12) amounting to Rs 120.65 million (2017: Rs 133.37 million, 2016: Rs 168.71 million) which were previously shown as part of fixed assets (note 11) are now shown separately on the statement of financial position; and

- Certain reclassifications have been made in the statement of financial position and profit and loss account which are summarised in the note 43.1 to the financial statements.

5.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

These are investments, that do not fall under the 'held for trading' or 'held to maturity' categories.

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Interest / return / mark-up on rescheduled / restructured advances and investments is recognised as permitted by the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP, except where, in the opinion of the management, it would not be prudent to do so.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

(b) Capital work-in-progress Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under this head. These are transferred to specific assets as and when assets become available for use.

5.7 Intangible assets

Intangible assets having definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary relating to prior years, which arises from assessments / developments made during the year.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistani Rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign bills purchased and forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the rates applicable to their respective maturities.

(b) Translation gains and losses Translation gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account.

(c) Contingencies and commitments Commitments for outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts are disclosed at contracted rates.

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks.

5.3 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

The Bank enters into transactions of repos and reverse repos at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recordedas under: (a) Sale of securities under repurchase agreements Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential between the sale price and contracted repurchase price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.

3.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective

The following revised standards, amendments and interpretations with respect to the approved accounting standards would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective standard or interpretation:

Standard, Interpretations and Amendments Effective date (annual periods)

- IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers July 1, 2018 - IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement July 1, 2018 - IFRS 11 - Joint Venture- (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRS 16 - Leases January 1, 2019 - IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - (Amendments) January 1, 2019 - IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments January 1, 2019 - IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - (Amendments) January 1, 2020

IFRS 16 replaces existing guidance on accounting for leases, including IAS 17 'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases - Incentive and SIC-27 'Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease'. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank shall recognize a 'right of use asset' with a corresponding liability for lease payments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the full impact of this standard.

IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' addresses recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard has also introduced a new impairment model for financial assets which requires recognition of impairment charge based on an 'expected credit losses' (ECL) approach rather than the 'incurred credit losses' approach as currently followed. The ECL has impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.

The Bank is currently awaiting instructions from the SBP as applicability of IAS 39 was deferred by SBP till further instructions.

The Bank expects that adoption of the remaining interpretations and amendments will not affect its financial statements in the period of initial application.

4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1 Accounting convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain investments, foreign currency balances, commitments in respect of foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market and are carried at fair value.

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates. These financial statements have been presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

4.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgments were made by the management in the application of accounting policies are as follows:

(c) Held-to-maturity

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amount.

5.4.5 Impairment Impairment loss in respect of investments classified as 'available for sale' (except for term finance certificates) is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of these investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the value of equity securities is also considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Prudential Regulations specify that investments in unlisted equity securities are required to be carried at cost. However, in cases where the breakup value of such equity securities is less than the cost, the difference between the cost and breakup value should be charged to the profit and loss account as an impairment charge. In the case of such securities, impairment loss is reversed when the shares are disposed of. Provision for diminution in the value of term finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In the event of impairment of available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in surplus on revaluation of securities in the statement of financial position is removed thereof and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

5.4.6 Gain / loss on disposal of investments made during the year is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

5.5 Advances (a) Loans and advances

Advances are stated at cost less specific and general provisions. Specific provision for non-performing advances is determined keeping in view the Bank's policy subject to the minimum requirement set out by the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision against consumer and small enterprises financing portfolio is maintained as per the requirements set out in the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery.

(b) Net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases is stated at net of provisions made against non-performing leases. Leasing arrangements in which the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset to the lessee, are classified as finance lease. A receivable is recognised on commencement of the lease term at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments including guaranteed residual value, if any. Unearned finance income is recognised over the term of the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases is suspended in accordance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP.

5.6 Fixed assets and depreciation

(a) Property and Equipment

(i) Owned Assets Owned assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for capital work-in-progress and freehold land. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note 11.2 to these financial statements after taking into account the residual value, if significant. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if required, at each statement of financial position date. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use. No depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance is charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

(b) Purchase of securities under resale agreements Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The difference between the purchase price and contracted resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

(c) Bai Muajjal

The securities sold under Bai Muajjal agreement are derecognised on the date of disposal. Receivable against such sale is recognised at the agreed sale price. The difference between the sale price and the carrying value on the date of disposal is taken to income on straight line basis.

5.4 Investments

5.4.1 Classification

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

(a) Held for trading

These are investments, which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices, interest rate movements, dealers margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists.

(b) Held to maturity These are investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them till maturity.

(c) Available for sale

These are investments, that do not fall under the 'held for trading' or 'held to maturity' categories.

5.4.2 Regular way contracts All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at trade date, which is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investments. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

5.4.3 Initial recognition and measurement

Investments other than those categorised as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs associated with the investment. Investments classified as 'held for trading' are initially recognised at fair value while the related transaction costs are expensed out in the profit and loss account.

5.4.4 Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition investments are valued as follows:

(a) Held-for-trading

Investments classified as held-for-trading are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account.

(b) Available-for-sale

Quoted securities classified as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. Any unrealised surplus / deficit arisingon revaluation is recorded in the surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities account shown as part of equity in thestatement of financial position and is taken to the profit and loss account either when realised upon disposal or when the investment is considered to be impaired.

Unquoted equity securities are carried at the lower of cost and break-up value. The break-up value is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per its latest available audited financial statements. Other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment, if any.

of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the Bank also records deferred tax asset on available tax losses. Deferred tax is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on (deficit) / surplus on revaluation of securities which is adjusted against the related (deficit) / surplus in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-12) dealing withincome taxes.

5.10 Provisions Provision for claims under guarantees and other off balance sheet obligations is recognised when identified and reasonable certainty exists for the Bank to settle the obligation. Expected recoveries are recognised by debiting the customer’s account. Charge to the profit and loss account is stated net-of expected recoveries. Other provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

5.11 Staff retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are made both by the Bank and the employees in respect of this benefit. Obligations for contributions to define contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.

(b) Compensated absences The liability in respect of compensated absences of employees is accounted for in the period in which the absences accrue.

5.12 Borrowings / deposits and their cost Borrowings / deposits are recorded when the proceeds are received. Borrowing / deposit costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred using the effective mark-up / interest rate method to the extent that they are not directly attributable to the acquisition of or construction of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) is capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

5.13 Proposed dividend and transfers between reserves Dividends and appropriations to reserves, except appropriations which are required by law, made subsequent to the statement of financial position date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' in the year in which they are approved / transfers are made.

5.14 Revenue recognition

- Mark-up income / interest on advances and returns on investments are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method except that mark-up / income / return on classified advances and investments is recognised on receipt basis in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Interest / return / mark-up on rescheduled / restructured advances and investments is recognised as permitted by the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP, except where, in the opinion of the management, it would not be prudent to do so.

- Fee, commission and brokerage income are accounted for on an accrual / time proportion basis.

Gains / losses on disposal of fixed assets, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases wherever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Premium paid at the time of renewal, if any, is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of their fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance charges allocable to the future periods.

The finance charges are allocated to the accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding liability. Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned by the Bank.

(b) Capital work-in-progress Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under this head. These are transferred to specific assets as and when assets become available for use.

5.7 Intangible assets

Intangible assets having definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged by applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the assets over their expected economic lives at the rates specified in note 12 to these financial statements. Amortisation is charged from the month in which the asset is available for use. No amortisation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed of. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.

5.8 Impairment

At each reporting date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the profit and loss account. Where an impairment loss reverses subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5.9 Taxation

(a) Current

The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year, if any, at current rates of taxation, after taking into consideration available tax credits, rebates and tax losses as specified under the seventh schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary relating to prior years, which arises from assessments / developments made during the year.

(b) Deferred Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all major temporary differences between the carrying amounts

- Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Bank's right to receive the dividend has been established. - Financing method is used in accounting for income from lease financing. Under this method, the unearned lease income (excess of the sum of total lease rentals and estimated residual value over the cost of the leased assets) is deferred and taken to income over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease. - Unrealised lease income in respect of non-performing finance leases and markup / return on non-performing advances is held in suspense account.

- Premium or discount on acquisition of debt investments is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

- Gains / losses on termination of lease contracts, documentation charges, front end fee and other lease income are recognised as income when realised.

5.15 Foreign currencies (a) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistani Rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign bills purchased and forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the rates applicable to their respective maturities.

(b) Translation gains and losses Translation gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account.

(c) Contingencies and commitments Commitments for outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts are disclosed at contracted rates. Contingent liabilities / commitments for letters of credit and letters of guarantee denominated in foreign currencies are expressed in Pakistani rupee terms at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date.

Diluted EPS per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after including the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, if any.

5.18 Financial instruments

5.18.1 Financial assets and liabilities All financial assets and liabilities are recognised at the time when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the Bank loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets.

18.1.1 This includes:

a) A provision of Rs. 71.134 million (2017: Rs. 71.134 million) made in respect of two counter guarantees amounting to Rs. 71.134 million issued by Crescent Investment Bank Limited, an amalgamated entity, on behalf of Mr. Reyaz Shafi favoring Privatization Commission of Pakistan (PC). The PC had invoked/called for payment of both the guarantees prior to their expiry date. However, Mr. Reyaz Shafi had obtained stay order for payments against the guarantees on the grounds that the guarantees were conditional and the condition had not been met. Subsequently, the PC filed a suit against Faysal Bank Limited and Al-Baraka Islamic Bank, the guarantees issuing banks, against counter guarantees of the amalgamated entity, in the Lahore High Court under the Privatization Commission Ordinance, 2000 for payment against the guarantees. The case is still pending for decision. As a matter of prudence, full provision

of Rs. 71.134 million (2017: Rs. 71.134 million) was made by the amalgamated entity, in respect of this matter, which isbeing maintained.

b) A 50% provision is maintained amounting to Rs. 52.762 million (2017: Rs. 52.762 million) in respect of a guarantee issued by the

bank in favour of a gas utility company on behalf of Dewan Cement Limited. The amount of guarantee will be payable by the bank if and when a call is made upon the bank by the beneficiary, in case of a default by the company. The company has shown gradual and visible improvement in the affairs of it's business, hence, after obtaining necessary approval from SBP, the account was upgraded from Loss to Doubtful in 2012 and accordingly, 50% of the provisioning was reversed. Currently, provisioning of Rs. 52.762 million (2017: Rs. 52.762 million) is being maintained.

c) A provision of Rs. 48 million (2017: Rs. 48 million) in respect of a fraud and forgery claim. The matter is still under investigation and is sub judice. The management is confident that the case will be settled in the favour of the Bank. However, as a matter of prudence, a provision has been retained in the financial statements.

The department has also raised further demand of Rs. 645.337 million (2017: Rs. 645.337 million) for assessment years 1999-00,2000-01 to assessment year 2002-03 and tax year 2006 on account of taxability of investment banks as banking companies and taxation of dividend income as normal banking income, and on account of lease rentals received or receivable, lease key money and certain other items. The aforementioned relates to pending assessments of the Bank and amalgamated entities namely Crescent Investment Bank Limited, Trust Investment Bank Limited and Pakistan Industrial Leasing Corporation.

Presently, the Bank is contesting these issues at various appellate forums.

The Bank has made full provision of Workers' Welfare Fund based on profit for the respective years.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan vide its order dated November 10, 2016 has held that the amendments made in the law introduced by

the Federal Government for the levy of Workers' Welfare Fund were not lawful. The Federal Board of Revenue has filed review petitions against this order which are currently pending.

Legal advice obtained on the matter indicates that consequent to filing of these review petitions, the judgement may not currently be treated as conclusive. Accordingly, the Bank maintains its provision in respect of WWF.

37.1 Fair value of financial assets

The Bank measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making

the measurements:

Level 1: Fair value measurements using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities,

either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: Fair value measurements using input for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).

36.1 The Chief Executive Officer is provided with the use of Bank maintained car.

36.2 Executives include employees, other than the Chief Executive Officer and Directors, whose basic salary exceeds twelve hundred thousand rupees in a financial year.

37 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The fair value of quoted securities other than those classified as held to maturity, is based on quoted market price. Quoted securities

classified as held to maturity are carried at amortised cost. The fair value of unquoted equity securities, is determined on the basis of the break-up value of these investments as per their latest available audited financial statements.

The fair value of unquoted debt and equity securities, fixed term loans, other assets, other liabilities, fixed term deposits and borrowings cannot be calculated with sufficient reliability due to the absence of a current and active market for these assets and liabilities and reliable data regarding market rates for similar instruments.

34.1 In addition to the above, 118 (2017: 246) employees of outsourcing services companies were assigned to the Bank as at the end of the year to perform services other than guarding and janitorial services.

35 DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

The Bank operates a contributory provident fund plan for 514 employees (2017: 471 employees). Both employer and employees contribute 8.33% (2017: 8.33%) of the basic salaries to the fund every month. The expense charged in respect of this benefit is disclosed in note 27 to these financial statements.

The objective of managing capital is to safeguard the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it could continue to provide adequate returns to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk. It is the policy of the Bank to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on shareholders’ return is also recognised and the Bank recognises the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with greater gearing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Bank’s Board and the management is committed to maintaining a sound balance between depositors' liability and shareholders' funds so that optimal capital / debt ratio is maintained. The optimal capital / debt ratio will provide reasonable assurance to depositor's about safety and security of their funds and at the same time provide impetus to the management to invest their depositors’ funds into profitable ventures without compromising the risk profile of the Bank. The capital requirement of the Bank has been determined based on the projected growth plan to be achieved in the next three to five years in all areas of business operations. Further, it also takes into account a road map for capital enhancement as directed by the SBP vide its various circulars issued from time to time.

The Banks are required to maintain Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) as precribed by the State Bank of Pakistan through its BSD Circular No. 7 dated April 15, 2009 which required the minimum paid up capital (net of accumulated losses) to be raised to Rs. 10 billion by the year ended December 31, 2013. As at December 31, 2018 the Bank's Paid up Capital is Rs. 10.082 billion. In addition, the Banks are also required to maintain a minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 11.90% of their risk weighted exposure. The Bank’s CAR as at December 31, 2018 is 19.04% (2017: 19.74%) of its risk weighted exposure.

The Bank calculates capital adequacy ratio for credit risk, market risk and operational risk based upon the requirements under the Basel Accord as per the guidelines issued by the State Bank of Pakistan from time to time in this regard.

Major credit risk in respect of on and off-balance sheet exposures are mainly claims on banks, corporates, retail customers, residential mortgages and unquoted equity securities. Market risk exposures are mainly in fixed income securities and foreign exchange. The Bank’s potential risk exposures shall remain in these exposure types.

The Bank has taken into account credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk when planning its assets.

The capital to risk weighted asset ratio, calculated in accordance with SBP guidelines on capital adequacy, under Basel III using Standardized Approach of Credit and Market Risk and Basic indicator Approach for Operational Risk is presented above.

42. RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk can be defined as a combination of the probability of an event and its consequences. In all types of undertakings, there is a potential for events

and consequences that constitute opportunities for benefit (upside) or threats to success (downside). Risk Management is increasingly recognised

as being concerned with both positive and negative aspects of risk. However, as a matter of prudence it is generally recognised that consequences

are only negative and therefore the management of risk is focused on prevention and mitigation of harm.

The types and degree of risk an organisation may be exposed to depends upon its size, complexity in business activities, volume etc. Unless risks

are assessed and measured it will not be possible to control risks. Further, an accurate assessment of risk gives management a clear view of the

Bank’s standing and helps in deciding future action plans. Management of risk by banks in Pakistan is governed by rules and regulations set by the

State Bank of Pakistan in its capacity as a Regulator of the banks.

The Bank maintains a dedicated Risk Management organisational unit, independent from any business and reporting directly to the President &

CEO through the Chief Risk Officer.

The Bank is exposed to a number of risks, such as credit, market, operational, liquidity, etc. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the

risk management function. In order to find an appropriate balance between risk and the desired level of return, the Board has formed certain

specialised committees such as Integrated Risk Management Committee (IRMC), Management Credit Committee (MCC), Asset and Liability Committee

(ALCO) and Country Risk and Compliance Committee (CRCC) to manage these areas. These committees act within the Bank’s overall policies and

Board delegated authorities. Integrated Risk Management Committee is a management committee which reviews and monitors risks associated

with activities of specific areas. Country Risk and Compliance Committee provides senior management oversight on all material issues pertaining

to Operational Risk and Compliance. The Board Risk Committee oversees the risk management function, including credit risks, market risks, liquidity

risks and operational risks that can cause losses to the Bank, to ensure appropriate supervision and governance of the risk management function.

42.1 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss as a result of failure by a client or counterparty to meet its contractual obligations. In the existing

operations of the Bank, this risk is inherent in loans, commitments to lend and contingent liabilities (such as letters of credit /

guarantees), in certain traded products and lending transactions.

The Bank seeks to manage its credit risk exposure by ensuring that its customers meet the minimum credit standards as per the

approved Credit Policy and procedures and through diversification of lending activities ensuring that there is no undue concentration

of risks with individuals, or within groups of customers in specific locations or businesses.

Taking credit risk is central to the business therefore the Bank continually and constantly assesses and monitors these exposures.

The inherent nature of the retail business warrants management of a large customer base with diversified product portfolios. Hence,

a system driven environment supplemented by human decision making and judgment, especially in unstructured markets is regarded

as the best tool to managing risk at large. Credit decisions are taken using a product program approach which includes local

environment knowledge, market competition and current best practices.

The corporate, commercial and SME portfolio is monitored through the Integrated Risk Management Committee (IRMC) which includes

senior members of the Risk Management Group. As far as Credit Risk Management is concerned, IRMC's responsibilities include:

- Oversee the Risk Management functions and ensure appropriate supervision and governance.

- Approval of risk rating methodologies and changes therein.

- Developing and maintaining highest standards of credit quality.

- Managing and ensuring that the overall credit risk exposures of the bank do not breach the pre-defined limits.

- Frequent reviewing, monitoring and evaluating the quality of credit portfolio.

The loans portfolio, which includes loans to individuals, corporate customers and commercial loans are significantly collateralized

by mortgage / hypothecation charges on fixed and current assets including property land, plant and equipment.

Loans and advances are classified as non-performing in accordance with the time based criteria specified in the Prudential Regulations

alongwith subjective judgmental criteria also applicable for early classification if needed. Provision is made against loans and

advances in accordance with the Bank's policies and guidelines provided by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

The Board Risk Committee (BRC) also regularly monitors the overall Risk Portfolio of the Bank including Credit, Market and Operational

Risk.

The approved procedures define the Classified Credit process to be followed in order to establish a consistent approach to problem

recognition, problem labeling, remedial action, loan loss provisioning and the initiation of credit write-offs. Clear responsibilities are

defined pertaining to all processes that are required to be followed, in order to have an effective remedial management set-up

in place.

A Remedial Asset Committee comprising remedial and risk managers and President & CEO, under the initiative of the Institutional

Remedial Management Department, conducts regular reviews of the corporate credit classified portfolio and also recommends

recovery / work-out plans, waivers and write-offs.

The Bank follows a very stringent loan loss reserve policy and as a result the impaired portfolio of the Bank is almost fully

provisioned.

42.2.2 Market Risk Management

42.2.3 Objectives

Market risk is the risk to a bank's financial condition resulting from adverse movements in market prices. Accurately measuring a bank's

market risk requires timely information about the current market values of its assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions. Market

risk arises from factors such as changing interest rates and currency exchange rates, the liquidity of markets for specific commodities

or financial instruments and local or world political and economic events. All of these sources of potential market risk can affect the

value of the institution and should be considered in the market risk measurement process.

Management of market risk aims to control related risk exposure while ensuring that earnings commensurate with levels of risk.

The Bank has approved market risk policy encompassing market risk limit framework where all relevant market factors have been

identified and taken into consideration in the establishment of the independent market risk limit frameworks. The policy also articulates

standards for defining, measuring and communicating market risk.

The Bank has established quantitative limits related to market risk and has also set limits for the maximum amount of losses arising

from market activities as under:

42.2.6 Market Risk Management Function - Monitoring compliance with all the market risk management policies and procedures of the treasury function as approved by

the Board of Directors. - Identifying and specifying all relevant market factors for each risk-taking unit. - Monitoring the day-to-day dealings of the front office against the pre-determined tolerable limits. - Ensuring that the following are reflected in the periodic (at least quarterly) profit and loss account: - All transactions executed; and - Current independent market data used with respect to revaluation. - Dealer limits monitoring and excess reporting. - Random review of recorded telephone conversations for Global Market (GM) activities and related telephone recordings through

Voice recording system. - As per new Rate Reasonability Review Process document, any transaction outside the agreed tolerance band will be reviewed

and highlighted by Market Risk. - Review the factor sensitivity, VaR and stress testing methodologies and results for reasonableness, consistency and completeness. - Preparing forecasts (simulations) showing the effect of various possible changes in market conditions relating to risk exposures

and ensure their integrity. - Preparing Market Access Reports (MAR), maturity and interest rate risk GAP reports. - Preparing market risk dashboard for Asset Liability Committee (ALCO), Integrated Risk Management Committee (IRMC), Board

Risk Committee (BRC) and senior management. - Preparing GAP analysis report and reviewing methodologies to calculate risk under Pillar I and II of ICAAP Framework. - Preparing Business Continuity Program (BCP) for market risk. - Finalising methodologies to calculate risks under Pillar I & II for ICAAP Framework. - Jointly developing, with business, standard stress test scenarios and reviewing the standard stress test library at least annually. - Reviewing the Bank’s capital adequacy.

42.2.7 Scope and nature of Risk Reporting

- It is the policy of the Bank that a comprehensive set of market risk data, generated through the businesses’ risk-taking

activities, is identified and communicated throughout the applicable business, IRMC and Senior Management.

- It is the responsibility of Market Risk Management to define, construct and maintain an independent market risk reporting framework that effectively, consistently and meaningfully communicates risks, risk appetite and the quality of

earnings.

- At a minimum, market risk reports are produced for each risk-taking unit, consistent with the level at which the independent market risk limit frameworks are established. However, additional market risk reports may be produced if Market Risk Management determines that the level and / or nature of the risk within a business, warrant inclusion in the market risk reporting packages.

- The market risk data and other data used to populate the independent market risk reports should be from independent risk systems or other independent support systems (e.g. general ledger). If the information available in the independent systems is not sufficiently comprehensive, any other data used to populate the reports must be subject to a reconcilement process to ensure its integrity.

- It is the responsibility of Market Risk Management and the business to assist in the quality control process by reviewing the reports for reasonableness, consistency and completeness.

42.2.8 Market Risk Management System

The Bank has Market risk software to manage the market risks from its trading and non-trading activities.

At each level, checks and balances are maintained through a system in which back and middle offices operate independently from front offices. In addition, ALCO, IRMC and BRC meetings are held respectively every month / quarter to deliberate important matters related to market risk and control.

42.2.9 Market Risk Measurement Model Since daily variation in market risk is significantly greater than other types of risk, the Bank measures and manages market risk

using VaR on a daily basis.

Market risk for trading and non-trading activities is measured using a uniformed market risk measurement model. The principal model used for these activities is Variance-Covariance matrix model (holding period, 10 days; confidence interval, 99%; and observation period 365 business days). The model calculates VaR amount by applying actual fluctuations in the market rates and prices over a fixed period in the past. However, the Bank is not using this model to calculate Basel III regulatory capital adequacy ratios which are being computed using the standardised approach which is in accordance with the regulatory requirement.

The Bank is using the following components for measuring market risk factors: - Factor Sensitivities - Volatility and Correlation Calculations - Value-at-Risk (VaR)

- Stress Testing

42.2.11 Foreign Exchange Risk The Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The risk is managed through State Bank of Pakistan’s forward covers and other hedging instruments. Overall foreign exchange risk is managed by dealing in authorised currencies, devising separate authority matrices for different types of foreign currencies transactions and assigning the ceilings of exposures to parties. Foreign exchange open and mismatch positions are controlled through internal limits and are marked to market on a daily basis to contain forward exposures.

42.3 Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, errors or mistakes or frauds committed by

people, inadequate systems and from external events. The Bank has an Operational Risk Framework duly approved by the Board

which is reviewed after every three years. The Bank has a well developed Operational Risk System as defined under the Operational

Risk Framework, which is aligned to international best practices. The Bank is using Key Risk Indicators, Risk & Control Self - Assessment,

capturing Operational incidents and conducting Quality Assurance Reviews as tools for identification, monitoring, measuring and

management of operational risk. Key Risk Indicators and operational loss incidents are captured in the Operational Risk System.

A sound internal governance structure enhances the effectiveness of the Bank's Operational Risk Management and is accomplished

at the enterprise level through formal oversight by the Board, the Chief Risk Officer, the Operational Risk Head and risk management

committees.

The Bank has set up an Operational Risk Management Department (ORMD), housed within the Risk Management Group which is

entrusted with managing controls and processes in an efficient and effective manner. The Operational Risk Management Department

(ORMD) oversees the processes for sound operational risk management and also serves as an escalation point for critical operational

risk matters within the Bank. The ORMD reports operational risk activities to the Board Risk Committee and Bank's Integrated Risk

Management Committee (IRMC) that reviews all risk areas of the Bank, on a holistic basis. The main activities of ORMD include:

- Operational Risk Management

- Business Continuity Planning

- Fraud Risk Management

- Information Security

- Quality Assurance Reviews

- Whistle Blowing Unit

With respect to Basel III for Operational Risk, the bank currently uses the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) for determining the Operational

charge for MCR calculation purposes.

Information and Cyber Security in all aspects remains a critical area of importance. To strengthen the Information Security-IS controls

for Bank’s information assets, the Bank has reviewed and updated the Information Security Policy & Framework, Procedures, Guidelines

and System’s Hardening standards based on latest ISO 27001 standard, PCI standards and regulatory requirements. The Bank is PCI

DSS compliant and conducts robust Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scanning. All Applications and any technology enhancement

is reviewed by IS through a detailed Information Security Risk Assessment process. The Bank's staff are also regularly trained on

Information and Cyber Security aspects aside from monthly information security awareness email messages.

Business Continuity Management Program is aligned with international best practices and regulatory guidelines, reviewed and tested

to ensure the readiness and effectiveness of alternate sites arrangements during uncertain situations. BCM awareness training

sessions are also conducted for respective designated staff members to ensure that they are aware of their roles and responsibilities

in any disaster situation.

The Bank has well defined policies and procedures in place for each unit duly vetted by the management. The policies & procedures

are reviewed periodically to ensure that these are in line with all the relevant laws and regulations.

In addition to the above, institution wide operational risk, fraud risk and whistle blow awareness and trainings are being undertaken

through regular communications and training workshops.

42.4 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk is the potential for loss to an institution arising from either its inability to meet its obligations or to fund increase in

assets as they fall due without incurring unacceptable cost or losses.

95

96

Liquidity risk is being monitored through the following:

(a) Gap Analysis: Market Access Report (MAR)

Market Access Report is a key tool in monitoring the current liquidity position of the Bank and it measures the ‘gaps’ over various

time horizons, based on a business-as-usual assumption that the asset levels remain constant. MAR quantifies the daily and cumulative

gap in a business-as-usual environment. The gap for any given tenor bucket represents the borrowings from, or placements to, the

markets (internal or external), required to replace maturing liabilities or assets. MAR Limits establish a boundary for how much

incremental funding is appropriate, relative to the size of statement of financial position and market capacity.

(b) Stress Scenario

Stress test is intended to quantify the likely impact of an event on the balance sheet and the net potential cumulative gap over a

3-months period, and to ascertain what incremental funding may be required under the defined stress scenario. The scenario is

proposed by the Market Risk Management at a minimum on an annual basis, endorsed by the Treasurer and approved by the Board

of Directors.

(c) Scope and nature of Risk Reporting

- It is the policy of the Bank that the comprehensive set of liquidity risk data, generated through the businesses’ risk-taking activities,

is identified and communicated throughout the applicable business, treasury and senior management.

- Market Risk is responsible to construct and maintain an independent liquidity risk-reporting framework that effectively, consistently

and meaningfully communicates risks and risk appetite.

- Treasurer is responsible to ensure the completeness and integrity of the liquidity risk data, and that the data can be effectively reported

into the independent risk systems.

- ALCO, the Treasurer and the market risk managers are responsible for assisting in the quality control process by reviewing the reports

for reasonableness, consistency and completeness.

(d) Mitigating Liquidity risk and processes for continuous monitoring

The following tools are being used in order to monitor the liquidity risk:

- Market Access Report (MAR)

- Stress Scenario

- Liquidity Ratios

- Significant Funding Sources (large funds providers)

- Contingency Funding Plans

44 NON-ADJUSTING EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

Finance Supplementary (Second Amendment) Bill, 2019 laid down before the National Assembly of Pakistan on January 23, 2019, amended the rate of Super Tax noted in the earlier Finance Act 2018 and prescribed a flat rate of 4% super tax for all accounting years from 2017 to 2020.

Since the above change in tax rates has been announced after the balance sheet date, it has been treated as non adjusting event under IAS 10 “Events after the reporting period” and no financial impact has been taken in the current year financial statements.

45 DATE OF AUTHORISATION

These financial statements were approved and authorised for issue on February 20, 2019 by the Board of Directors of the Bank.
